Steelers vow to ban fan who choked pregnant Chargers fan

Sporting events can get ugly. At Heinz field Sunday night, something unacceptable happened. A Steelers fan was pictured with his hand around a pregnant Charger fans neck. That just can’t happen. Luckily, Pittsburgh said they will ban the unidentified fan. They also issued a statement:

“We strive to make events at Heinz Field safe for our guests,” a Heinz Field spokesman said in a statement. “This type of behavior seen in the photo is unacceptable and something we do not condone on our property. We are working with Heinz Field security as well as local authorities to gather more information on this particular incident as the Pittsburgh Police determines whether or not to press charges, and we will ensure those involved as the aggressors will not be permitted back into our stadium.”

That’s good that they were proactive about this. They were really left no other choice. Nip it in the bud now and hope that eliminates future behavior like this. When the fan is caught he likely won’t only be banned, but prosecuted for his actions as well.
